We had no idea what we were going to do for the fourth the morning of, but by the end of the day it turned out pretty perfect. We had a low key morning and didn't brave any parades. The kids took a 4 hour nap in the afternoon (what a dream)! We spent our evening at the park barbecuing, playing in the water, and doing sparklers. It was a day filled with family, food, and fun. Nothing better.
